I dunno, I feel like the reaction to this one has been overblown. Lego never at any point promised us a new death star - that was all leaks and rumors. The 2008 model is a strong seller and they're just cleaning up the design to keep it modern. $100 more dollars is kind of a thing, but like, if you were already going to spend $400 on a lego set, is $500 really such a big deal? idk, I've never had that kind of money anyway.

OOC: Noghiri: we'll just say we found centcom and all lived happily everafter, except for ringtail, who woke up one night with a .45 calibre hole where his nose once was.

There used to be a topic on the LEGO Message Boards where Figmentia, one of the game's community managers, answered questions from players: https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGO-UNIVERSE/Figmentia-At-your-service/td-p/1160732/ It's gone now (though I think the whole thing is on the web archives), and most of it wasn't very useful. There were some occasional interesting bits though, which I snipped out separately. Figmentia: The beta tester achievement is an achievement in the player Passport under General Achievements. Basically, it checks to see if you were a beta tester. If you were, you get the reward of an extremely rare in-game T-Shirt that you can't receive any other way. Eventually, you will be able to view other players Passports and see all the different achievements they've accomplished! (Note - That passport viewing feature never made it into the game) Figmentia: LEGOUniverseMaster was a generic forum name that we all used together, but now as you see, Imaginatrix, Elementron and I have our own forum names now. bossk226: hey figgy! Hows it going? Well my question today is, When I was in the Beta LU, you get these portals for clamming your own property and it takes you right to you prop straight from were your at. So I was wondering why there are not in todays LU? Because they were really cool and very useful, for like lets say, I'm in FV and i need to go to AG i can just use the portal to get to AG in a heartbeat : ) (and there good for showing off and playing tricks on people hehehe) So ya that's my question to you why are they not in todays LU? Figmentia: bossk226 - I don't know the exact details on this, but I know there was a pretty big problem with them. That was why they were taken out. I don't know if there are plans to bring them back yet, but I'll certainly ask! good.enough: Figmentia, I am in the middle of writing a story on LU, but I have run into a problem of a slightly scientific nature. I'll get right to the point. Where does the light come from. I mean, the planet chunks aren't orbiting stars are they? I have always thought that they orbited the Maelstrom vortex. Also, why are some worlds darker than others? Does it only involve the clouds that cover their faces, or is it partially due to being further away from the light source? Please answer soon, as I don't want to wait too long before continuing to write my story. Thank you! Figmentia: good.enough - I asked our story guys and this is what they said: A) Light on planet chunks is created by the Imaginative creativity they generate. If the inhabitants of a zone Imagine a bright, vibrant world, then their creativity causes it to light up as if it had as much sun as a tropical beach on Earth! B) The planet chunks in the Nimbus system are orbiting the Imagination Nexus protected by Nexus Tower, where Doc Overbuild built the Nexus Force headquarters to secure the beam of Pure Imagination left over when the expansion of concentrated Maelstrom energy destroyed Planet Crux. C) Darker worlds are either eclipsed by clouds of chaotic Maelstrom, or have been made slightly darker than other worlds due to the Imagination of their inhabitants. Some worlds, like Forbidden Valley, might have a little bit of both! LegoKnexJ: Hello Figmentia I was hoping you could sort this out. I don't know if someone already asked but does not using the build on a mini boss like a dragon increase loot? It's a big problem in-game some players are so convinced about it that they will kick you off a team for it. I tried to test it myself and i didn't really find anything either way so i would very much like for you to share your grand wisdom about the game and please tell me Figmentia: LegoKnexJ - I'm assuming you are talking about the Crux Prime Dragons? Well, I can dispell the myth right now - regardless of how you defeat the dragons - pure muscle power or quick builds, the drops will be the same. I've confirmed this with the Devs, FYI! HaxorzFTW: I have so many questions that I could ask now, but I'll just stick with a couple. They have to do with the story... particularly, Ninjago. Where do I begin? I'm really wondering if the Monastery world is a fragment of the planet Ninjago or not. And how did it get to the Nimbus System (it's clearly in that star system on the world map, just off of Crux Prime)? Is the Monastery supposed to represent Sensei Wu's original mountaintop monastery, or is it a different, more fortified building? It looks a lot different from the original. And if the Maelstrom weapons and equipment that skeletons use are supposed to be resistant against the powers of spinjitzu, then how do Ninjago weapons still do extra damage on them and why don't their weapons do way more damage than the skeletons on Crux Prime? How does every Nexus Force member get their own set of these legendary, one of a kind Golden Weapons? These things must be a dime a dozen if everyone gets their own, I don't see why Sensei thinks they need to be protected. Maybe he's going a bit senile. AND... in Avant Gardens, Wisp Lee said that if you infuse Maelstrom into a pure brick, it infects it, but it doesn't work the other way around when you put imagination into a Maelstrom brick. Yet Echs Ray was able to whip up a Maelstrom purification device like it was nothing, and it's being used to purify weapons of all things! Why don't they just shove stromlings into those? How has the Nexus Force NOT won the war instantly with a machine like that? The plot holes. I can find them. Figmentia: HaxorzFTW - Okay, I talked to some people, and here are some answers for you. Ready for a wall of text? Ninjago is its own planet, far from the Nimbus System. Its position on the map is simply representational, to show you that you can rocket off to it from Nimbus System Worlds. The Monastery is just one part of this planet. // The Monaster was heavily fortified when the Skeleton army began advancing on it with Maelstrom weapons - note the boards nailed to its main gate. // The Maelstrom weapons and armor used by Skeletons makes Minifigures from Ninjago light-headed and woozy, since they aren't used to it. As a proud member of the Nexus Force, your Minifigure is used to dealing with Maelstrom in high doses, and can therefore face those boneheads migraine-free! // The weapons of Spinjitzu do as much damage as they always have to Skeletons - loads! Maelstrom weapons and armor are super effective against the _minds_ of Sensei Wu and his Ninjas, not their martial art. // Every member of the Nexus Force can obtain these weapons because we want them to experience as much of the awesome Ninjago storyline as possible. That includes using Golden weapons, which are super cool and powerful items in the Ninjago zone. We're just spreading the fun! Sensei Wu is most definitely not senile - He's kept his mind clear through daily exercise and a carefully planned diet of herbal teas. // The Maelstrom is a confusing substance; one that the Nexus Force knows little about. Echs Ray knows more about the Maelstrom than Wisp Lee at this point, having had the luxury of studying it nonstop at the Paradox Refinery whilst not being chased by a legion of Maelstrom Spiderlings. He may know a trick or two that Wisp doesn't! // A Stromling is much more complex than a brick. A mason can learn how to repair a broken brick in a few days, but a doctor undergoes many years of schooling to learn how to cure a living, moving thing! The same object that can cleanse an inanimate object will likely not be able to cure a Stromling. *phew* In summary - we're glad to see you are so interested in the LU story and lore. Thanks for keeping us on our toes! NicholasVZ: NVM about my ticket figgy, but what it was is, i have 14 DX drops in over 400 frakjaw battles , and i am missing ONE piece to have all of the DX gear, the Jay DX gi, jay is my favorite ninja, i have 2 EXTRA zane DX gi's 3 EXTRA kai DX pants, a EXTRA jay DX pants, a EXTRA zane DX pants what gets me is with all this NO jay shirt. the mythran have said they can not turn one of my zane shirts into a jay, and i understand that. but what is the BEST way to get the Last DX drop i need. Figmentia: The best way to get the Jay DX shirt is the 4 player Frakjaw Instance. I can't say the drop rate, but it is highest in the 4 player fight. Good luck - what an amazing collection you've gotten!

Quick note, mate; if you're trying to take a screenshot, don't use your camera. It's almost impossible to make out what is the issue. To take a proper screenshot; If you are running a Steam version of the game (or running the game through Steam with the Overlay enabled), you can use the F12 key to take screenshots (Note: To verify this key, check Steam>Settings>In-Game>Screenshot shortcut keys). To find the screenshot file (so you can upload it), in the Steam application select "VIEW SCREENSHOT LIBRARY" for the game of your choice, then select "SHOW ON DISK". You can take screenshots with external programs such as FRAPS, Lightshot, NVIDIA Shadowplay and so forth. Each of these programs lets you configure the key to use and will have a button to let you jump to the folder with the screenshot. If you have none of the above, you can simply press the Print Screen (often stylised as Prnt Scrn or similar) on your keyboard; this button is directly next to the F12 key. Immediately after taking the screenshot, open any image editing program (such as Microsoft Paint) and Paste. Save the image that you just pasted. You can then upload that file to the RRU gallery. --- Moving on...trying to play a LEGO game and it won't start? Half-way through a mission and the thing crashes? Did it set fire to your dog? In all of the above scenarios, we'll endeavour to help, but in order to help we'll need some information first-and-foremost so that we can better assist with your situation. Here's what to include when you have a problem: 1. The Problem What I Expected: Tell us what the expected outcome of your actions was (for example, if the game won't start, you'd say you'd expect the game to launch and the opening movies to play). What Actually Happened: Tell us what actually occurred in as much detail as possible. Try to be very specific (for example, if the game window flickers before it completely stops running, make sure to mention that). If you notice a pattern to the game crashing, such as the game crashing at a specific cutscene or if it crashes every 5th time loading up, let us know that. Any Weird Behaviour: Please note any specific weird behaviour, such as music not playing or the game running extremely slowly. These might be indicators as to the cause of your problem, or unrelated problems we can also fix. 2. Your Setup Your Version of the Game: Please tell us any information about the version of the game you have; for example, if your copy of the game is in German or a non-English language it can change a lot about the game. We also would like to know if your game requires the disc in the drive to play, and where the disc came from (if it was an original run, if it was a Focus Interactive version, if it was part of the 10-in-1 games box etc). What You've Already Tried/Done: Be extremely specific and tell us what troubleshooting you've already done, including what Windows Compatibility Settings you've tried, any mods you've downloaded/installed, any changes to the game's configuration files, if you've extracted the game's archives etc. It may be helpful to upload any of your own modded files via the RRU Uploader and link them to us so that we can double check if there's any problem. Your System: We need to know the following components of your system, as some games have trouble on certain configurations; VM-Status: If you are running the game through a Virtual Machine or using Wine/Bootcamp on non-Windows operating systems, please let us know. OS: Your operating system and its exact version/architecture (example: Windows 10 Home 64-bit). CPU: The exact model and manufacturer of your CPU (example: Intel i7-4790). GPU: The exact model and manufacturer of your GPU (example: NVIDIA GTX 980) [Please note: Some systems will name your integrated graphics chip (usually Intel Graphics 4000 or similar) rather than your actual hardware GPU, especially on laptops; this can point to LegoRR running on the wrong card]. RAM: The amount of RAM in your system (example: 16GBs) HDD: The amount of free-space and total space on the hard-drive that the LEGO game is installed to/that you'd like to install to (example 150GB/2TB). To find this information, you can do the following: Run dxdiag.exe. On Windows 10, begin typing "dxdiag" with the Start Menu open and it should eventually pop up; select it. In earlier versions, either use the search bar in the start menu or use the Win-R button shortcut to open run, type in "dxdiag.exe" without quotation marks and press enter. On the first page (labelled as the "System" tab), you will find your Operating System (OS), Processor (CPU) and Memory (RAM). On the second page (labelled as the "Display" (single-monitor setup) or "Display 1" (multi-monitor setup) tab) you will find the Name (GPU). To find your HDD information, open "This PC" (Windows 10) or "My Computer" (Earlier); if the free/total space is not displayed under your hard-drive, you can right-click on a hard-drive and select "Properties" to open a window which has the information (HDD). Error Reports: IF YOUR GAME CRASHES and Windows has the "Game.exe has stopped working" message appear, DO NOT CANCEL OR CLOSE IT UNTIL IT HAS FINISHED THE PROGRESS BAR. If it does occur, your crash logs may become valuable pieces of information. To retrieve them for us, do the following: Open the Event Viewer. On Windows 10, right click the start menu button and press "Event Viewer". In earlier versions, either use the search bar in the start menu to find "Event Viewer", or open Control Panel > Administrator Tools > Computer Management and press the "Event Viewer" item in the left-most pane. In the Event Viewer, click the following in the left pane: Windows Logs > Application. You are looking for two events; under the "Source" column, they will say "Application Error" and "Windows Error Reporting". They should be near the top, if not the top-most events. For both; click on the event. Under the "General" tab in the box, you should see "LegoRR.exe", "LR2.exe" or the executable name for the LEGO game you are trying to run. If you see that, you have the right event(s). Copy the contents of the box for both events and send that with the rest of your report. PLEASE NOTE: You may delete everything from "Attached files" to the bottom in the Windows Error Reporting log as that is not important, but we need the filepaths as they are recorded in the Application Error event.

YOU'RE A TERRIBLE PERSON FOR PUTTING A PSU IN THE COMPUTER!

As I was looking for more unreleased LEGO stuff, I found this: It's the same Snake Train from the Ninjago TV show. Just a quick reminder though, this was prototype set and it was cancelled in production.
